1 Thessalonians 2:2-6
2but after we had alreadyG4310 sufferedG4310 and been 1treatedG5195 abusivelyG5195 in 2PhilippiG5375, as you knowG3609, we hadG3955 theG3955 boldnessG3955 in our GodG2316 3to speakG2980 to you the 4gospelG2098 of GodG2316 5amidG1722 muchG4183 67oppositionG73.
3For our 8exhortationG3874 does not come from 9errorG4106 orG3761 10impurityG167 orG3761 11by wayG1722 of 12deceitG1388;
413but justG2531 asG2531 we have been approvedG1381 by GodG2316 to be 14entrustedG4100 with the gospelG2098, soG3779 we speakG2980, 15not intendingG5613 to pleaseG700 peopleG444, but to please GodG2316, who 1617examinesG1381 our heartsG2588.
5For we neverG3777G4218 cameG1096 18with flatteringG2850 speechG3056, as you knowG3609, norG3777 with 19a pretextG4392 20for greedG4124--21GodG2316 is our witnessG3144--
6norG3777 did we 22seekG2212 honorG1391 from peopleG444, eitherG3777 from you orG3777 from othersG243, though 23we could have 24assertedG1510G922 our authorityG922 as 25apostlesG652 of ChristG5547.
